Removing a pending order (metatrader for PYTHON)

New comment
 

I'm trying to remove a previously placed pending order using the below python script but for an unknown reason it returns retcode 10013 which translates to "invalid request"...

import time
import MetaTrader5 as mt5

if not mt5.initialize():
    print("initialize() failed, error code =",mt5.last_error())
    quit()


symbol = "EURUSD"
price = 1.22340  
point = mt5.symbol_info(symbol).point
request = {
    "action": mt5.TRADE_ACTION_PENDING,   
    "symbol": symbol,
    "volume": 10.00,
    "type": mt5.ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP,    
    "price": price,
    "sl": price - 200 * point,
    "tp": price + 200 * point,
    "deviation": 0,
    "comment": "python script open",
    "type_time": mt5.ORDER_TIME_GTC,          
    "type_filling": mt5.ORDER_FILLING_RETURN, 
    }

result = mt5.order_send(request)

if mt5.order_check(request) is None:
    print ("error raised: ", mt5.last_error())
    quit()
        
if result.retcode != mt5.TRADE_RETCODE_DONE:
    print ("order_send open failed, retcode: {}".format(result.retcode))
else:
    print ("order_send open DONE!")

    
time.sleep(3)
position_id = result.order
request1={
    "position": position_id,
    "action": mt5.TRADE_ACTION_REMOVE,   
    }
print (mt5.order_check(request1))
mt5.order_send(request1)

mt5.shutdown()
any suggestions would be very appreciated, thank you.

Hello, I've done it (replace position for order in request), I get retcode = 0, but the pending order stays on MT5. Can you help me?

Thanks!
